Background:
Virtual nursing has emerged as an approach to support bedside nurses and enhance patient care. Initially focused on mentorship, the model has evolved to address changing clinical demands.
Purpose:
To examine the development and implementation of an advanced virtual nursing model, with improved scalability, that aimed to enhance care efficiency by reallocating bedside nursing tasks.
Methods:
The model was updated to consistently shift tasks from the bedside nurse to the virtual nurse, use a different staffing model and reporting structure, expand technology integration, and transform electronic health record functionality to automate and standardize workflows.
Discussion:
The advanced model increased admission and discharge completion rates by reducing administrative burdens for bedside nurses and improving resource allocation. Feedback showed varying levels of acceptance among patients and nurses.
Conclusion:
The advanced model effectively enhanced care delivery. Future efforts should focus on expanding virtual nursing, investing in technology, and applying change management strategies.
